Dear Rich,

I know this little publication (not by ICZN criteria since it is
mimeographed -at least my copy is).

I find it useful for the nomenclatorial, linguistic, and etymological
remarks - and have since Bill Old recommended it to me no more than
ten years after its production.

I always cross-check pretty much everything that isn't a slam-dunk,
and there are few inaccuracies in these aspects.

Harry
